Fan girl, journo … same difference, apparently.
Attention @TwitchyTeam, Politico's @jeneps adoration of Obama just started a storm.@michellemalkin

Yes. Yes, it did. As Twitchy reported, attendees of an Obama speech last night fled the speech early and headed for the exits. Lapdogs? Befuddled! Take a look at this absurdity from Politico’s Jennifer Epstein.
After waiting a long time for a POTUS speech, don't you want to hear the whole thing? And not just take a phone pic or two and then leave?

Um.

Hey, Ms. Epstein, we are givers so we’ll let you in on a little secret: Check this out for some reasons people would flee an Obama speech early.
Epstein wasn’t finished.
Think it was probably trying to avoid bad traffic that the crowds streaming out of PG County Obama-Brown rally. Still, highly unusual.

That’s her story and she’s sticking to it!
@jeneps traffic on a Sunday evening?
— Jimmy (@JimmyPrinceton) October 19, 2014
Snicker.
But whatever, guys! Obama is still super awesome and stuff.
For all the talk about diminished enthusiasm (& ppl leaving MD rally early), must note that POTUS drew 14,200 at two events today

Bless. Her. Heart.
Seriously. Read @jeneps. She just cannot believe people would leave an Obama speech for any reason that would reflect poorly on him.

Twitter users gave her the business and reminded her of a few things.

Aching sides.
@laurww @johninUT @gabrielmalor @jeneps Looking at each other "Do any of y'all speak their language??"

But, there’s this!
.@HeyTammyBruce well, at least she succeeded in furnishing the @PressSec with their spin, should the subject come up…smh.
— Lady Goodman (@LadyGoodman3) October 19, 2014
Yep.
Or maybe it's like seeing a train wreck MT @jeneps: It was probably trying to avoid bad traffic… crowds streaming out of… Obama rally
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) October 19, 2014
Heh.
And an exit question for the oh-so-unbiased journo:
@jtLOL @jeneps How long should one linger at a car wreck?
